Change language on spellings control Microsoft Word:MAC ?

I chose english as language for my new mac, although that is not my native language, I just prefer it over my own language to work with. However, when I've got to make some projects or such for school, I have to do them in my own language ofcourse, but word is automatically set for english in the spelling control... how do I change that to my own language ?Change language on spellings control Microsoft Word:MAC ?
Here is how I'd do it for Word for Windows. Hopefully, you can get enough out of this to answer your question:



This is a checklist of things that have to be set to do spell checking in Word.



First, the proofing tools for the appropriate language have to be installed, usually from the Office CD.



Then, in Word versions prior to Word 2007 (2008 for Mac):



1. Click the Tools-%26gt;Options menu item.

2. Click the Spelling and Grammar tab.

3. Check the Check spelling as you type checkbox.

4. Check the Check grammar as you type checkbox.

5. Check the Check grammar with spelling checkbox.

6. Uncheck the Hide spelling errors in this document checkbox.

7. Uncheck the Hide grammatical errors in this document checkbox.

8. Click OK.



And to make sure spell checking isn鈥檛 turned off for any section of the document:



1. Press CTRL/A to select the entire document.

2. Click the Tools-%26gt;Language-%26gt;Set Language menu item.

3. Uncheck Do Not Check Spelling Or Grammar.

4. Click the Default button. (To make this change permanent.)

5. Click Yes in the message box.

6. Click OK.





In Word 2007 (2008 for Mac):



1. Click the Office button in the upper-left corner.

2. Click the Word Options button.

3. Click the Proofing tab.

4. Check Check Spelling As You Type.

5. Check the Mark Grammar Errors As You Type checkbox.

6. Check the Check Grammar With Spelling checkbox. Note the Settings button. With this, you can select or deselect many nit-picking checks.

7. Uncheck the Hide Spelling Errors In This Document checkbox.

8. Uncheck the Hide Grammar Errors In This Document checkbox.

9. Click OK.



And to make sure spell checking isn鈥檛 turned off for any section of the document:



1. Press CTRL/A to select the entire document.

2. Click the Review tab on the Ribbon.

3. In the Proofing section, click Set Language.

4. Uncheck Do Not Check Spelling Or Grammar.

5. Click the Default button. (To make this change permanent.)

6. Click Yes in the message box.

7. Click OK.



Hope that helps.
